“…The type of trauma most commonly observed in this study was facial fracture (80%), a result higher than that of Leles et al [17] in Brazil (51%) and of Jin et al [2] in China (64%). The studies of Gassner et al [3] in Austria (62.5%) and Leles et al [17] in Brazil (98%) reported a high proportion of soft tissue injuries.…”

“…Injuries involving the maxillofacial complex represent one of the biggest health problems worldwide [1,2]. Over the past few decades, several studies have reported a significant increase in the incidence of these lesions, with a significant threat to the quality of life of children, adolescents and young adults [3][4][5][6][7], beyond the physical and psychological distress along with the high potential of negative interference in social relations [1,8,9].…”

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate epidemiological aspects of maxillofacial injuries in hospitalized patients. METHODS: The sample was composed of 405 patients treated at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Emergency Hospital of Aparecida de Goiânia, Brazil, between 2011 and 2013. The following informations were collected from the patients' medical records: gender, age, cause of injury, seasonal distribution and type of injury. The statistical treatment analyzed data from frequency distribution and chi-squared test. The level of significance was set at 5% for all analyses. RESULTS: A higher occurrence of maxillofacial injuries was observed in males (72.59%) and with 21-30 years old (26.17%). The main etiologic factors involved were vehicle traffic accidents (30.62%), falls (22.72%) and violence (21.48%). The seasonal distribution showed that most cases occurred in autumn (38.02%), followed by summer (34.07%). The most common injuries were facial fractures (80%), with the nasal bones being the most affected anatomical region (39.75%). Statistically significant associations between etiological factor, gender and age (p<0.005) were observed. CONCLUSION: There was a high number of maxillofacial injuries in males aged less than 30 years old due to vehicle traffic accidents.

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of maxillofacial trauma resulting from physical violence against older adults, describe patterns and identify factors associated with its occurrence. Material and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted from the assessment of 7,132 reports of victims of violence who sought a Brazilian Service of Forensic Medicine and Dentistry, during the period from January 2008 to December 2011. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's chi-test square test and Poisson's univariate and multivariate regression (with robust variance) were performed using SPSS software version 20.0. The significance level was set at p <0.05. Results: A total of 259 older adults suffered physical violence. The occurrence of maxillofacial trauma was observed in 42.9% of the sample. Lesions in soft tissue (90.1%) affecting more than one region of the face (40.4%) were the most frequent. The prevalence of maxillofacial trauma was more frequent among individuals older than 66 years (PR = 1.166; 95% CI = 0.865-1.572), males (PR = 1.119; 95% CI = 0.807-1.550), victims of violence occurred within the community (PR = 1.431; 95% CI = 0.951-2.153), during the night shift (PR = 1.226; 95% CI = 0.911-1.651) and weekends (PR = 1.279; 95% CI = 0.955-1.714) performed without using blunt instrument (PR = 1.311; 95% CI = 0.932-1.846). Conclusion: The prevalence of maxillofacial trauma resulting from physical violence against older adults was high and soft tissue lesions affecting more than one face region were predominant.

“…There are many studies in the current clinical literature on the aetiology and types of injuries in the maxillofacial region. Such injuries show frequency variations that differ according to the geographical areas and socio‐economic status of the populations in different countries, or within the same country , and according to their sex and age distributions. Mandibular fractures are extremely frequent, and these account for 41.7–74.0% of all of the maxillofacial fractures in previously reported clinical studies .…”
